Framed Art Print - 'Loves Enduring Promise' by Jim Daly
This is a matted and framed offset lithograph print of the artwork 'Loves Enduring Promise' by the American artist Jim Daly, known for his nostalgic and sentimental Americana themes. The image depicts a moonlit lakeside scene with evergreen trees and a wooden canoe on the shore. A central element of the composition is a double-exposure effect showing the spectral figures of a young couple gazing at each other. The color palette is dominated by deep blues, silvers, and earthy browns, creating a serene, nocturnal atmosphere. The print is professionally presented in a double mat—a dark inner mat and a sage green outer mat—enclosed in a dark wood or synthetic frame. Notable features include Daly's signature likely printed in the lower corner and the distinctive use of symbolic imagery intended to represent eternal love and memory. The condition appears fair to good from the image, though there is a prominent glare reflecting off the glass, indicating it is likely standard float glass rather than non-reflective museum glass. The frame shows minor surface handling wear but no major structural damage or wood loss is visible. This style of print peaked in popularity during the late 20th century, specifically the 1990s, and is representative of modern sentimental realism.
